Episode Summary

Tolliver wrecked Merrick's newspaper office in retribution for not publishing the county commissioner's notice. Con Stapleton and Leon are having difficulty generating business for Tolliver's new Chinese whores. Utter learns that Wolcott is in possession of Hickok's last letter. Joanie returns to Tolliver to "turn tricks".

At last, a face to face between Al and Alma.

I swear, the second Alma opened the door to Swearengen, that's when I saw "Mr. Black Magic himself" the one, the only Teddy Bess. Ian McShane's cool delivery set such a perfect scene for their first meeting - although I don't quite see Al as the same guy as he was when he plotted to have Alma's husband killed.

Great to see Utter getting some extroversion going on. For the friend of a world famous gunslinger, he's so bottled up. He might not have a gift for words, but when the situation calls for it, that man can sure speak with his hands. I'm anxious to see E.B get squashed, but I think I'm way more anxious to see Al go up against Cy. Al's not quite up to it yet, but it's coming, and hopefully before Hearst shows up on the scene.moreless

Swearengen: Obviously you didn't ******* die when the Doc slapped you.Merrick: No.Swearengen: So including last night that's three ******* damage incidents that didn't kill you. Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair, or ******* beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man, and give some back.
